Story
Dom is a 6 year old boy who is full of life, unfortunately he has many life limiting health issues. These include Autosomal Recessive Desmoplakin Deficiency causing fragile skin and blistering, Dilated Cardiomyopathy (End-stage cardiac failure), Gastrooesophageal Reflux, Nasogastrically Fed, Laryngomalacia and Developmental Delay.
Dom currently has a NHS wheelchair that causes him to blister as a result of long periods of sitting. The only support that can be offered to improve the wheelchair is a memory foam cushion, however this has not prevented blistering. Dom's family have spent a great deal of time researching a more suitable solution and unfortunately the only solution they have is to raise funds to buy a custom made wheelchair themselves. What this means for Dom is he will be able to recline in his chair which will relieve the pressure from his bottom and prevent outbreaks of blistering that cause him a great deal of pain and distress.
From birth Dom's family were told that he had life limiting disabilities however through determination, pure defiance, a cheeky grin and the desire to be treated/do the same as everyone else he has defied the odds and is a remarkable little boy.
Dom adores Paw Patrol, mobile phones and being out doors. Due to his heart failure he runs out of steam very quickly and has an unsteady gait (wobbles), which is when his wheelchair really comes into play and prevents him from being excluded from activities.
The wheelchair that will meet Dom's needs can be provide by a company based in Holland called Veldink4kids. Dom has been measured and the cost of the wheelchair is £6200. A generous donation of £1000 has all ready been received and we are now hoping to raise the rest to provide Dom the comfort he deserves. This wheelchair is adaptable and will grow with Dom for many years to come.
